Darren there are several mentions of "This can be due to overheating from sunlight when the clams become dry during ebb tide" which would seam to sugest that clams are found in intertidal zones .. contrary to what you posted in your last post.. so it looks like temp changes can be a regualr part of clam life but the danger is when they dry out a little to much (sounds like it is right out of the water to me)
